Hypothetically, if dermatome L3 were impaired, then the sensation level would L2, correct? Therefore the neurological level of injury would then be L2? Just want to be sure I understand how to find neurological level of injury
Thank you! This was helpful. Is CVI diagnosed with MRI and through a visit to a developmental ophthalmologist or optometrist? When might I be concerned about this condition and refer a child out? If they haven’t already been diagnosed.
Ok, it makes sense why we would use sidelying or semi-prone for positioning. If a patient Ranchos peds 5 (no response), we still want to avoid PROM? Shouldn’t we be concerned about heterotopic ossifications or contractures?
This is a silly question, but do we ever see someone not progress through the Ranchos levels (i.e. stay at a level 3 per-say)? What would our focuses be during these levels for these patients?
